📰 News we're reading

• Ravenswood residents lean on each other as floodwaters recedes (mirrorindy.org) — Rocky Ripple was among several Marion County neighborhoods ordered to evacuate during last weekend’s historic flooding, and residents there are already seen as further along in recovery than nearby Ravenswood. This story follows Ravenswood neighbors canoeing through streets, organizing a new Facebook group, and using Glendale Christian Church as a donation hub while they gut flooded homes and seek FEMA help. It highlights how community support, simple donations, and better coordination are shaping very different recovery timelines between Rocky Ripple and Ravenswood.
